Currently there seems to be no graduate student assessment. Professor Mowrer stated that beginning in the Fall 2015 semester, the department began using part of the ETS exam as a “starting point” for assessment. He said there will be a considerate revamping of the program. Professor Raeisi asked about the number of international students; there are few. The Committee discussed the possibility of a Master in Music as opposed to the M.A. in Music as noted in the Site Team Report. Professor Mowrer stated that first the B.A. program would have to be changed. Dean Marshall asked about establishing an alumni board for fundraising and possible recruitment. The music faculty and Dean Jimenez-Sandoval agreed that it would be a good idea. Professor Skeen asked about the graduate writing requirement (GWR is satisfied through Music 220), as well the distribution of funds from event ticket sales. Professor Mowrer stated that approximately 20-25% of ticket sales go to concert hall maintenance, and the rest to the ensemble, staffing, scholarships, and outside venues. The University Graduate Committee recommended the following: creation of a complete and fully implemented SOAP including assessment instruments, curricular objectives tied to data and revising learning outcomes for both the Performance and Education options. The department is encouraged in their plans to revamp the Education option; this option should be monitored to ascertain if it becomes viable or should be terminated.5.MSC: Recommendation to Approve Music as a Program of Quality and Promise6.MSC: To adjourn at 2:47 p.m.The next scheduled meeting of the Graduate Committee is Tuesday, February 23, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. in Thomas 117.Graduate Committee MeetingFebruary 2, 2016Page 3Agenda: 1.Approval of the Minutes of 2/2/16.2.Approval of the Agenda.munications and Announcements 4.Program Review for M.A. in English and M.F.A in Creative Writing ................
